Department of Neuroscience Faculty
Our faculty lead interdisciplinary research projects and mentor a new generation of scientists.

Faculty in the Department of Neuroscience at NYU Langone Health include basic scientists and clinicians who work together to discern the inner workings of the brain.
Informed by a strong legacy of research in systems neuroscience and inspired by new faculty using diverse, cutting-edge methods, our research teams seek to understand the fundamental mechanisms of brain function and disease through collaborative and interdisciplinary research projects.
